After Action Report
The Bucks held off the Celtics 97-90. Ugly basketball, but the Bucks did just enough. The Bucks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
